ABSTRACT:
A method for performing motion correction in an autocalibrated, multi-shot diffusion-weighting MR imaging data acquisition includes performing motion correction on k-space data in an autocalibration region for each shot individually and then combining the motion-corrected k-space data from each shot to form a motion-corrected reference autocalibration region. Uncorrected source k-space data points are “trained to” the motion-corrected k-space data from the motion-corrected reference autocalibration region to determine coefficients that are used to synthesize motion-corrected k-space data in the outer, undersampled regions of k-space. Similarly, acquired k-space lines in the outer, undersampled regions of k-space may also be replaced by motion-corrected synthesized k-space data. The motion-corrected k-space data from the motion-corrected reference autocalibration region may be combined with the synthesized motion-corrected k-space data for the outer, undersampled regions of k-space to reconstruct motion-corrected images corresponding to each coil element. The motion corrected images corresponding to each coil element may be combined into a resultant image.
